say "Nimrod ponders the situation ponderously...[line break]";

let q be 0;

repeat with p running through the list of nonempty pits:

let n be the stone count of p;

bit-xor n into q;

repeat with p running through the list of nonempty pits:

let n be the stone count of p;

let r be the n bit-xor q;

if n > r:

let t be n - r;

try Nimrod taking t stones from p instead;
